Finely cut hibiscus has a dark red color with a distinctly sour taste. You can enjoy it warm, but it's also excellent as an iced tea. You can sweeten it to suit your taste.
Origins
Hibiscus can be found in tropical and subtropical areas all over the world. They come in many forms and can look different each time – as shrubs, semi-trees, deciduous or evergreen. They have palmate leaves and beautiful, often very large flowers. They can be white, pink, red or orange and tea lovers can't get enough of them. The bloom contains antioxidants, vitamins, essential amino acids and anthocyanins.
The popularity of hibiscus is evidenced by the fact that it is mentioned in an ancient medical document dating back to 1150 BC. The so-called Ebers Papyrus lists its abilities, which include supporting normal intestinal and vascular function, vitality and refreshing the body.
For teas, a special species of hibiscus – Hibiscus sabdariffa is cultivated. You can prepare drinks of various flavors and aromas from its dried red flowers. It's refreshing no matter the time of year. The aforementioned hibiscus tea, for instance, is served with sugar and lemon. In Senegal, they flavor it with ginger, while the Panamanians add sugar, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Hibiscus can also be used to make juices, jams or chutneys. It is often used as one of the crucial ingredients in loose-leaf teas. It adds both a beautiful color and many vital nutrients.
